Good afternoon,

I've been incredibly fortunate to have had many strong women (mom, wife, sister, aunts, etc.) in my life. Their challenges, support, and love have shaped me into the person I am today.

I want to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to all the moms in the Jerome community who provide that same invaluable love and support to our students. Wishing you a wonderful Mother's Day weekend filled with joy and celebration 💚💛!

Your dedication is deeply appreciated and valued. I'm so glad the sun will be shining for you!

Enjoy,

Mike

A current TikTok trend encourages students to insert metal objects—such as paper clips, pushpins, or pencil graphite—into the USB ports of their Chromebooks in an attempt to cause sparks or damage the device.

Chromebooks are provided on a loan-for-use basis and remain the property of Dublin City Schools. Any intentional damage to a district-issued Chromebook will result in two outcomes:

• Full Replacement Cost which is around $400.
• Suspension from school in accordance with DCS Handbook, Rule 3 Damage to School Property: A student shall not willfully or maliciously damage or attempt to damage any school property.

We appreciate you taking the time to review and discuss these expectations at home.

Start your planning! Details are always shared in my weekly updates!
